Have you ever heard or come across the term "Reusable modules"? Yennai Arindhaal is just that. Put all of Goutham Menon's scripts into a program and write a code to get the best possible output. Of all the outputs, the one with the greatest error term will be "Yennai Arindhaal".
What a waste of time..I really looked forward to this movie because I like some of GVM's way of storytelling and that coupled with a smart looking actor like Ajith was a perfect combination.
The movie's biggest positive point and the biggest failure is Goutham Menon himself. Too many redundant ideas spoilt the movie. Every scene, every dialogue seemed predictable (because it was inspired). You would have seen it somewhere.
Except for the "Yennai arindhaal" theme, even the background music by HJ was inspired majorly from Metallica and the OST of "Tron: Legacy".
Some solid performances from Ajith, Arun Vijay, Trisha and the small girl were commendable. The "Maya Bazaar" song idea/picturisation was unique for a Goutham film. I loved it.
The story was simply copy-paste from his earlier scripts. No intelligence whatsoever (as some people think it is). Comparisons don't make sense here at all.
The dialogues were delivered in a very monotonous tone, typical of Goutham Menon breaking tamil sentences into "English" pieces.
Not worth 3 hours at all. Give it a miss or try at your own risk is what I would say.
Rating: 2/5
